She spent much of her time travelling to remote areas, meeting key sources (within and outside the country), and conducting first- hand primary research using her own limited resources. She would devote hours on translation, roping in friends and well-wishers to help.

She immersed herself in local traditions (many obscure, some dying out) and was also a keen student of diasporic sub-continental populations, both contemporary (such as the Bangladeshi population in London) and historical (such as in Mauritius and the West Indies).
